A smiling Bob Dole gave no indication to this panama city crowd
of the behind the scenes work underway to revive his lagging candidacy. with
just under two weeks to the election, a top dole campaign aide reportedly
traveled yesterday to dallas to secure a ross perot's endorsement and the votes
of his supporters.
Dole was coy when asked about the dallas meeting.
BOB DOLE/PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE (R)
"I'VE GOT A HEARING PROBLEM."
But ross perot apparently didn't like what he heard.
SHARON HOLMAN/ PEROT CAMPAIGN SPOKESPERSON:I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT ROSS PEROT
IS IN THE RACE TO STAY."
The appearance of such a last minute plea, aimed at perot's support
in western and southern states and the implications of the response
aren't what this campaign needs.
KEVIN PHILLIPS/ POLITICAL ANALYST:
THIS IS A FURTHER CONFIRMATION OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE TROUBLE
THEY'RE IN.IT'S NOT THE FIRST, THE POLLS ARE OTHER PRETTY STRONG
EVIDENCE , BUT THIS CERTAINLY DOES SHOW THEY'RE REALLY WORRIED.
The clinton campaign was quick to label dole's maneuvering as proof
of desperation.. it's clear the timing of the meeting was to coincide
with the dole's trip today to texas but now he'll have to face crowds
in perot's hometown...after a very public dismissal..Sandra Hughes,

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson yesterday said Bob Dole's presidential
campaign is inept.
Robertson UNSUCCESSFULLY ran for the Republican Presidential nomination in

The Virginia Beach-based broadcaster says he would "NOT" run a campaign the
way Dole has.
A spokesman for Dole's Virginia campaign -- said such criticism is not
helping Dole's chances of beating President Clinton.
He said he hopes Robertson's followers won't be so discouraged that they stay
home November 5th.
